GREETING 

(n'ntlcwcti of the California Lca^KC of Rcpithlican Clubs: 

We bid you welcome to Los Angeles. You come in the name and to advance the 
cause of a great political party, whose every pledge has been kept, whose every prophecy 
has been fulfilled— a party whosS- policy has placed the Republic in the forefront of the 
world's civilized nations, t'nder the wise direction of the chivplrous and kniehtly McKin- 
ley, it has restored prosperity, given the country a sound, stable and flexible financial 
system, assured to the commerce of the world an " open door " in China, pursued a course 
towards other peoples that has commanded the respect of the powerful, the love of the 
weak, and forever buried all sectional strife and feeling in this our beloved land. 

These achievements give added renown to the political organization that elevated Abra- 
ham Lincoln to the presidency, and that numbers among its heroes and statesmen, <">rant, 
.Seward, Garfield, Arthur, Baker, Blaiue, Roosevelt and McKinley. 

The Republican party reverences the past with all its splendid history and traditions, 
it finds a future full of promise, and it believes in a "government of the people, by the 
people and for the people." 

Again we bid you welcome, thrice welcome to this beautiful city, that not alone is the 
metropolis of the Southland, the home of the flowers, the fruit and the vine, but lies cen- 
tered, in the midst of an energetic Republican majority, that dominates our destinies.

The California Republican League* 



Prior to the spring of 1S96 there had been no regularly maintained organization of the League in California 
and early ill that year an effort was made to perfect the organization. Upon the recommendation of prominent 
California Republicans, the President of the National organization appointed the following State ofBcers: A. W. 
Kinney, President; George Francis, Secretary and George Stone, Treasurer. 

These officers immediately commenced the formation of clubs, and met with encouraging success, especially 
in the southern portion of the State, which section was soon fairly well organized in district and county leagues, 
and these in turn organized many local clubs. Quite a number of clubs were also organized in the cities of San 
Francisco and Oakland, and the great parade in San Francisco just preceding the election of 1S96 was held 
under the auspices of the League Clubs. 

The National Republican Committee gave deserved credit to the League in California for its aid in carrying 
the State in the Presidential election of 1896. 

In May, 1898, the State League organization held its first regular convention in San Francisco, and the 
convention was a conspicuous success in regard to numbers of clubs represented and the great number of delegates 
present, as also in the enthusiasm displayed. 

That convention adopted a constitution and the League became very active through its clubs in the Congres- 
sional election of that year. 

On the first of the present year there were more than three hundred clubs in the State League, with nearly 
15,000 members. 

At the State Convention of the League in 1898, the present officers were elected. They are as follows: 

George Stone, President; J. G. Swinnerton, First Vice-President; J. B. Bushnell, Second \'ice-President; 
Jas. M. Oliver, Secretary; Albert Lindley, Assistant Secretary; L J. Truman, Treasurer. 



The League Plan. 



It is our purpose to have the best system of organization that it is possible to secure. The plan adopted 
seems to meet with general approval. It is closely connected, and yet easily and naturally adjusted to all parts of 
the State, and to each subdivision of organization. Our League organization should be clearly distinguished 
from a mass meeting, in that it is of a permanent character and does not cease to exist when a campaign is closed. 
It is intended to be a school of Republicanism, where the best political literature can be secured, and where the 
principles of the party are unmistakably taught. It is content only with the latest and best thought on current 
topics. It is especially emphasized that clubs and leagues are schools for the study of our party's history and 
principles, and to train young men to a greater interest in political movements. 

We quote the words of some of our party leaders : 

Chairman Frank McLaughlin of the State Central Committee writes: " I know of no greater auxiliary than 
the harmonious and vigorous work of clubs throughout the State. I can only say that this committee, as well as 
myself personally, very heartily indorses a movement of this kind." 

Senator Perkins: "I am pleased to be able to say that in my judgment the thorough organization of 
Republicans into clubs, under the auspices of the League, has been, and is conducive of excellent results, and I 
believe that it can do no better ser\-ice for the party in this State than by continuing such work on the lines it is 
now following. " 

Ex-Secretary R. M. Higgins: "The Executive Committee appreciates very highly the ser\-ices rendered by 
the California State League of Republican Clubs. ... It possesses the elements of solidity and strength, and 
is a permanent factor in the future success and well-being of the party and this State. 

Hon. M. J. Dowling, ex-Secretary of the National Republican League: "California has one of the finest 
State Leagues in the country. Its work is thoroughly appreciated by the National Republican Committee and 
has been of much service to me personally in proving to the committee that league work, when properly directed, 
can be of much value to the party. " 

Gen. W. H. L. Barnes says of League Conventions : " One such convention is worth a ton of campaign 
literature." 

Hon. D. B. Henderson, Speaker House of Representatives : "Through the Republican party, from its 
birth, every great achievement for the country has been achieved since i86i,and it is through that party that 
blessings are to be carved from the present and the future for this Nation. I commend the young men for 
organizing and being on guard, and for the unselfish, noble work which they are undertaking."

The National Republican League* 



The National Republican League was organized in New York City in 1887, and the first convention was 
held in Chickering Hall on the isth of December of that year. Senator Wm. M. Evarts was the chairman of 
the convention. 

It was a notable gathering and was in session three days; a constitution was adopted and national officers 
elected. 

At this time there were not more than 500 clubs in existence. In the following June there were 4,000, and 
before the campaign closed in that year the numbers were more than 6,000. 

Two years ago there were nearly 10,000 clubs, with an aggregate membership of two million members. 

The value of the National League as an auxiliary to the regular party management was fully recognized 
during the national campaign of 1896, when the headquarters of the National League were maintained at the 
same place as those of the National Republican Committee, and the secretaries of the two committees were in 
daily conference in regard to the work being carried on in conjunction with each other. Bj^ subordinating itself 
to the Republican National Committee and quietlj' hewing to the line, the league was instrumental in turning the 
tide in several States. 

President McKinley at that time said : 

" There has never been in the history of parties in the United States, any such potent agency for the dissem- 
ination of political information as the National Republican League." 

In all the States where the League has refrained from attempting to direct the policj' of the party, the 
organization is in a flourishing condition and of great benefit to the party. 

In the great States of Ohio, Illinois, Michigan and Minnesota, the clubs are a power on election days. 

In Oregon there is a fine State League and it has saved the State to the Republicans in the last two elections. 

The coming National Convention at St. Paul in July next promises to be the largest in the history of the 
League. Many of the most conspicuous men in the Republican party have accepted invitations to be present, 
and the people of St. Paul are already making arrangements to give the delegates a grand welcome.

The League as a Party Factory* 

President McKinley says: "There has never been in the history of parties in the United States, any such 
potent agency for the dissemination of political information as the National Republican League. ' ' 

"The Republican League represents the youth and hope, the vitality and aspirations of the Republican party. 
It is the flower of the great political force which, as a creative and constructive organization, will rank in history 
with the part}' of Chatham and the younger Pitt and with the party of Washington, Hamilton and Marshall." 

Hon. Charles Emory Smith, Penn. 

"This League is the great workshop for the young men of the Republican party, and I believe in young men. 
Hannibal and Ca-sar were in the thirties when they were the heroes of the civilized world: Alexander the Great 
died in the thirties, weeping because there were no more worlds to conquer; Napoleon the Great was but a young 
man when he carved liis name on the temple of fame so high and radiant that time can never dim its luster; 
Washington and Alexander Hamilton were but young men when the}' laid the foundation stones of this Republic 
amid the crack of musketry and while the blood of patriots was wet upon the sods. 'Old men for counsel, but 
young men for war,' is as true now as it was in the past." Hon. Webster D.wis, Mo. 

"I desire to thank and commend the League for its work, and to bespeak for it a useful and prosperous 
future." Hon. M. A. Hann.\, Ohio. 

"The League has been known for ten years as the great organized armj- of the Republican party. This does 
not mean that the League belongs to the home guards, but to the regulars." Hon. L. J. Cr.vwi-ord, Ky. 

"The League is formed on the fact that it is the duty of every citizen to study public questions, and having 
so studied them, it is his privilege to assure in the most effective way at his command the practical success of the 
policies and principles he deems best for the good of the whole country." Hon. J. M. Thurston, Neb. 

The Republican party in convention assembled at Sacramento, on May 5, 1896, paid the following tribute 
to the efforts of permanent clubs: "We indorse the work of the National League and the efforts of the young 
men of our party to make it a potent factor in prosecuting a vigorous and successful campaign in this State. ' '

Suggestions for Organizing Local Republican Clubs in Affiliation with 

the California Republican League, 

HOW TO ORGANIZE. 

1. Circulate for signatures of as many Republicans as possible to call a meeting. 

2. Publish a notice of a meeting for organization in the local paper, if possible, and if not, post it in some 
conspicuous place. 

3. At the first meeting elect a chairman and secretary. Adopt constitution as furnished by State secretary. 

4. Elect officers as provided by the constitution. 

5. Elect as officers onh' men who will, when elected, receive the united support of all the elements in the 
club. 

6. Every officer elected in the club should be a person whose Republicanism is unquestioned. 

7. Have the secretary at once forward to the secretary of the California League a list of officers and members 

of the club. 

WORK WITHIN THE CLUB. 

1. It is desirable that permanent headquarters be established at once, and that the rooms be accessible to 
the members during the day and evening. 

2. Make the policy of the club so broad that every Republican can work under it. Keep out of "isms," 
and stand on the great cardinal principles of the party. 

3. Invite to membership every person who sympathizes with the Republican party and who intends to 
support its candidates. 

4. See that every Republican in the vicinity joins the club. 

5. Have regular meetings at the club at least once a month. 

6. The officers should see that an interesting programme of work is prepared for every meeting. This is 
essential to the existence of the club. 

7. Enliven your club meetings with music and literary exercises, and especially with addresses upon 



political topics. If speakers are not always available, have speeches of prominent Republicans, newspaper 
editorials, magazine essays, etc., read by some good reader. At these meetings it would be very desirable to have 
ladies and the older children present. 

8. Endeavor to secure speakers from other sections of your county and the State, to address you at these 
meetings. Do not rely upon the Central Committee to send you speakers, but provide them yourself if possible. 
Have a new one every week if you can secure him. Make a business of it. 

9. Send a full report of your meetings to the local papers. 

10. Supply the clubroom with the best political literature. 

1 1 . See that every member takes and reads at least one Republican newspaper, and especially stimulate the 
circulation of your local party papers. 

12. Avoid running into debt. Keep expenses below receipts. Run your club on business principles. 

13. Have your club fully represented at all league conventions. 

14. Communicate freely with the California League, reporting your work in detail for the benefit of the 
League and other clubs. 

15. Let the California League know what reading matter you want. 

WORK OUTSIDE THE CLUB. 

1. Permit no conflicts to arise between your club and other organizations of the Republican party. 

2. Co-operate with all other Republican committees in strengthening the party. 

3. Your club does not take the place of, but is auxiliary to, the regular committee of the party. 

4. Where clubs are not organized in adjoining towns and districts, see that organizations similar to your 
own are perfected. 

5. See that all Republicans attend the caucuses and primary meetings. 
See that even,- Republican in your district is registered. 
See that every Republican votes early on election day. 
Insist upon honest elections at all hazards. 
Prosecute the ballot-box stuffers and assassins who strike at civil liberty by nullifying the American 

franchise. 

10. The club should never be made subservient to the interests of any individual. • 

1 1 . The club should never indorse or recommend a candidate for office until after he is nominated by the 
regular party convention.

Robert N. Bulla, 



Robert N. Bulla was born Scptembtr 8, 1852. in Wayne county, Indiana. 
In 1S75 graduated (classical courfe) at National University, I.tlxinon, Ohio; 
afterwards studied law and was admitted to the bar at Cincinnati. Settled in 
I^os Angeles in ikS^, and was for fonr years connected with the firm of Hick- 
nell & White. In iSSS he formed an association with Percy R. Wilson, and is 
still a member of the firm of Wilson & Bulla. Jlr. Bulla has represented the 
Seventy-fifth District in the Assembly in 1S93 and 1895, and Thirty-seventh 
Senatorial District since 1897 

In 1893 Mr. Bulla was elected to the Assembly by a large majority over his 
Democratic competitor, the present Mayor of Los Angeles. Mr. Bulla repre- 
sented the Republican minority on the Judiciary Committee, and introduced 
and had passed the Delinquent Tax bill, a measure vetoed by the Governor. 
During the session a bill was passed authorizing the Governor to appoint a 
committee of five to inquire into tl-.e Torrens System of Laud Transfer and to 
report to the next session. Mr. Bulla was appointed a member. 

In the Fall of 1894 Mr. Bulla was re-elected to the Assembly by a largely 
increased majoritv, allhcugh against a fusion candidate. The Legislature was 
Republican, and the services of Mr. Bulla were at once recognized. Speaker 
Lynch appointed him chairman of the Judiciary Committee, which practically 
carries with it the leadership of the Assembly. It is also important from a 
business point of view, for fully one-half of all measures introduced are re- 
ferred to this committee for action. Mr. Bulla at once re-introduced the De- 
linquent Tax bill, which now stands upon the statute books. 

In 1896 Mr. Bulla was nominated for State Senator by acclamation, and 
although Mr. Bryan carried Los Angeles by a majority of 700, Jlr. Bulla's ma- 
jority in the city was 1,200. After election Mr. Bulla remodeled the Torrens 
bill, and in the session of 1S97 the bill was passed and signed by the Governor. 

Mr. Bulla, in the interest of public morality, introduced and had passed a bill \vhereb\ a 

year must elapse belweett a divorce ami subsequent marriaf^e of either or l>oth of the 

parties. In the interest of our schools Mr. HulIa also introduced and passed a bill ft)r the 

reor^ranization of the [rovernment ot the State Normal schools. l>y means of which measure 

thev were entirely removed from politics. Mr. Uulla was chairman of the Committee on Claims, a position requirinir c<mra<re and Unowledire. a member 

of the Municipal CorporationsComniittee, and has been, ever since his entrance into iiublic life, either chairman o member of the Judiciary Umimiltce. 

both in the Senate and Assembly. It is. therefore, no discourtesy to oldermembers to assert that Mr. Bulla was the le.ider of his party on the floor of 

Yearsi'if service in the Legislature, added to his lejjal education and experience as a lawyer marked Mr. Bulla as peculiarly ciualified'for the Code 
Commission, and (Governor Kudd simply gave expression to public opinion in insisting upon the acceptanceof the position in 18'»i which he had vainly 
offered Mr. Bulla two weeks previously. . -*» r, ,, • , 

Mr. Bulla is a man of education, both theoretical and practical; he is a lawyer by profession, added to these no mean qualifications, Mr. Bulla s leg- 
islative experience is of a peculiarly varied and broadening nature, and as a legislator he h.TS safeguarded the interests of both State and people, and has 
shtiwn himself a generous and enlightened friend of education.

a plantation near the village of New- 
bern. Tennessee. His father was a 
distinguished Confederate soldier. 

Mr. Harris received his primary edu- 
cation at the Newbern Academy, and 
his collegiate education at Cumber- 
land University, Lebanon. Tennessee. 

He was admitted to the bar in Ten- 
nessee in 1873, and practiced for a short 
time in his native State. 

In 1S75 he came to California, settled 
in San Bernardino, and entered at once 
upon the practice of his profession. 

A Democrat in politics until 1S9G, he 
took an active part in local. State and 
national campaigns, and. by eloouent 
and convincing speeches on the stump. 
rendered efficient service to his party. 

In 1896 he found himself unable to 
accept the Chicago platform, or to fol- 
low the Democratic party in its depar- 
ture from the doctrines and principles 
of its founders. He, therefore, became 
a Republican, entered the campaign of 
1896. and contributed greatly toward 
saving California to the Republican 
party. 

In the State and Congressional cam- 
paign of 1S9S he was an active partici- 
pant, making speeches in many of the 
important towns of the State. 

His speeches were among the ablest 
delivered in the State, and contributed 
materially to the success of the party. 

Mr. Harris's devotion to the Repub- 
lican cause has been strengthened by 
the policy of the administration in re- 
gard to our new territorial acquisitions, 
as he is an ardent believer in expan- 
sion and an enthusiastic advocate of 
the policy of the "Open Door," 




BYROX L. OLIVICR. 



In view of the positive refusal of the Hon. R. J. Waters to be 
a candidate to succeed himself, considerable interest is now being 
taken in the selection of his successor to Congress. 

B) ron L. Oliver is one of the persons who has been promi- 
nently mentioned for that position. 

.Although liorn in the State of Illinois, he has been a resident 
of the Sixth Congressional District of California for twenty-eight 
years, having resided for twelve years in Santa Barbara and 
Ventura counties, before coming to Los Angeles. 

Mr. Oliver is a lawyer and for a number of years has been 
actively engaged in the practice of his profession in Los Angeles- 
He has made his own way in the world; educated himself in 
college by his own efforts; laboring in the harvest fields for funds 
to take him to Michigan University and working his way through 
that institution of learning; and at last graduating with honor from 
its law school, receiving first rank in oratory. 

Being the son of a veteran, Mr. Oliver has always borne a 
deep reverence for the loyalty and p.itriotism of the members of 
the G. A. R. and has frequently been called upon to address them 
at Memorial Day Commemorations throughout Southern Cali- 
fornia. 

Besides numerous .-iddresses on subjects of public interests, he 
has been one of the hard-working speakers of the Repulilican 
party in this district and during the last three campaigns he spoke 
almost nightly from the opening till the close of each campaign. 
Always an enthusiastic League man, he has been a staunch sup- 
porter of the organization in this Stale. *

The League of Republican Clubs is one of the best associa- 
tions ever formed in the history of our politics. The league 
represents no particular candidate, and has no personal in- 
terests to advance. It is formed solely for the purpose of 
bringing stanch Republicans together and enabling them to 
work in unison and harmony for the maintenance at the polls 
of the great political principles and legislative policies which 
the Republican party represents and to which all other parties 
are opposed.— 6a« Francisco Call. 



We take pleasure in calling attention to the announce- 
ment of Mr. Creasinger, found on another page, together 
with a life-like portrait of himself. No business man in
